Yes I finished this chapter! I feel so proud...

I don't own Vampire Diaries, I don't even own a vampire! (But I want one...)

Scarlett's POV

"No." I growled.

"Please?" The red headed girl in front of me asked.

"No." I repeated.

"But-" I cut her off.

"There is no way in hell I'm letting you stay here for longer than a three days." I exclaimed. "Not with all the… vampires." I finished with a whisper.

"Come on, you're not my mom. You can't tell me what to do." She muttered, looking around the Grill.

"No, I'm not but you are my friend. Almost like my younger sister, I couldn't bear to see you killed." I sighed.

"Come on, you know I can take care of myself. Besides, you think I came alone?" She assured me.

I bit my lip but didn't have a chance to respond when the sound of the TV got her attention. "… Violent behavior that left three people dead at last night's Booster club dinner at a local high school. The authorities believe the assailant may also be linked to the missing campers and park ranger who have yet to be found, as well as 25 year old Jessica Cohen reported missing this morning…"

"Oh shit." I muttered.

She grimaced. "This place is way more active than I though."

"Which is exactly why you can't stay, so get out of town and soon." I got up from my seat. "I need to go talk to Stefan."

"Whatever." She muttered, talking a sip of her drink.

I rolled my eyes as I put the money on the table. "Go be a normal girl for once. Please do not, I repeat, do not get involved."

She smirked. "You make it sound like I'm just looking for trouble."

"That's because half of the time, you are." I sighed. "But knowing you, you'll find a way to get involved."

She snorted. "Don't I always?"

I gave out a huff. "Please just don't go out looking for trouble."

She rolled her eyes. "No promises."

I quickly turned off the motorcycle as I approached the boarding house and took my helmet off, stepping off the bike.

I opened the door and quietly walked inside the house. "I don't trust him he's an original, he can't be trusted. It's not like we can just go up and kill him because apparently he can't die!"

"I'm still waiting for the part where John Gilbert's the answer." I heard Damon respond.

"He knew about the sacrifice, Isobel told him. He said he knew of a way to keep Elena safe." Stefan told Damon.

I decided to step in. "And how exactly did this, oh so wise, John Gilbert say this is supposed to be done?" I asked with skepticism thick in my voice.

"He isn't talking. At least not to me anyways." Stefan responded.

Damon rolled his eyes. "Great work, Stefan. Top notch, as if I didn't have enough problems." He began to walk past Stefan and I before Stefan spoke up again.

"I'm sorry about Rose." I tensed visibly, thankfully neither of them noticed.

Damon turned back to him. "Whatever I knew the woman for like five minutes."

"Well you cared about her after five minutes, I wonder what that means." Stefan told him.

Damon shot me a look before turning back to his brother. "It means I care Stefan, it means I'm changing and evolving into a man capable of greatness. Better watch your back, 'cause I may just have to go get a hero hairdo of my own" I stifled my snort "and steal your thunder."

Damon looked at me and I raised my hands up in an innocent gesture. "My bad."

Without another word he walked out on us, leaving my alone with Stefan.

I scuff my shoes against the carpet, not meeting his eyes when I'm sure Damon is no longer in hearing distance. "Has he always been like this, because I don't really remember him being such a jackass?"

He sighs. "He's been through a lot, we all have."

"I know but it doesn't give him a reason to be so… heartless." I point out. "I mean, you're nice and he's…"

He gives me a small smile. "We can't all deal with things the same way."

I lean my forehead against the door, trying to listen into my brothers' conversation while looking at them through the keyhole. "I do not know how we are supposed to tell her, she is not ready to know."

One of them scoffs. "Then when do you suppose we should tell her? 'Till she ends up destroying all of the humans here?" He asks.

They're so focused on their conversation they don't notice me snooping. "No but if we tell her now she might try to run from the truth, we cannot let that happen." He sounds worried.

"She is strong, if we could control it so will she." My brother tries to reassure.

My other brother paces in concentration. "I do not know about this, brother. None of us deal with things the same way."

I don't get to finish listening to their conversation because I black out in pain, the last thing I hear is Klaus speaking. "It seems like we don't have much of a choice now, do we brother?"

My attention snaps back as I hear Stefan's phone buzzes.

"Is everything okay?" I ask, my voice sounding weak at the sudden memory.

He looks at me with uncertainty, he obviously noticed me space out. "Are you?"

I nod. "Yeah, just a little out of it." A very obvious lie, even though he doesn't comment on it.

He just nods and starts to walk towards the door.

"Am I not allowed to know where you're going?" I ask.

He looks back at me. "Caroline has an emergency." He "explains."

I smirk. "Great, I'll drive." I head out the door, taking out my keys.

"I do have my own car." He points out.

I roll my eyes. "Are you really going to argue with me on this during an emergency?"

He sighs and walks out the door with me in the lead.

I smirk. "Didn't think so, Stef."

Do you want to know who the person she was talking to was? Well too bad! :P She's not an OC though, just not part of the show...

Please Review! I chose to work on this chapter instead of my other stories I could have worked on, don't I get some credit for that? If you think I do; review. If you think I don't; still review...
